27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was in November 2023 and he's generally struggled since then; has something to prove and all of his wins have come on good to soft or slower. |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Ran quite well when fifth in valuable final of this veterans' series at Sandown (3m, good) in January but was well beaten there later that month and has become far too inconsistent to support with any confidence; tried in a visor for the first time. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Proved somewhat resurgent, following several non-completions, in the Veterans' Final over C&D on seasonal debut; however, needs to build on that effort and prove that he's still capable of peak form, on which he's admittedly well treated. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Has a rather mixed record over last couple of years but reportedly benefited from positive front-running ride when causing 33-1 surprise at Wetherby in February and is only 2lb higher here; a possible if ready to roll after five-month break. |

23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Very promising novice hurdler in 2020-21; unable to hit the same heights over fences last season, following a near-two-year absence, but he had wind surgery (his third) in August and reappeared with a win at Exeter (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago when he travelled much the best before hanging on by half a length; up 6lb but could have more to offer. |

1st 8 |
10th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
towards rear of midfield, midfield 10th, prominent 13th, disputed lead 4 out, pushed along when led clearly 2 out, 4 lengths ahead when hung left and ridden run-in, much reduced lead towards finish, all out |
9/1 |

1st Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Very promising novice hurdler in 2020-21; missed all of last season but made encouraging chase/handicap debut in December (2m3f) and didn't run badly before looking a non-stayer over 3m last month; drops back in trip here and is 5lb lower now; dangerous to ignore. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, yielding) in Ireland for Gordon Elliott last season but was pulled up on his chase/stable debut in January and has finished in rear in both subsequent runs (2m4f); still early days over fences but he needs to raise his game on this step up to 3m. |

1st Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (2m, yielding) in Ireland for Gordon Elliott last season; pulled up on stable/chase/handicap debut in January but ran well for a long way at Sandown (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and there's a decent chance he can take another step forward here. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 |
11th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Soft-ground point winner who won a 2m maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last March for Gordon Elliott; beaten soon after halfway on chase/stable debut at Wetherby (11-2) six weeks ago, returning with an irregular heartbeat; has questions to answer after that, but it's too soon to be writing him off. |
10/1 |
